How are Macs the titans? https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0 https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system

  Macs aren't the titans, although it's worth noting that the Macintosh's market share has crept up over the last few years from a low of 2.5 percent to a current value of about 12 percent (stats like Netmarketshare measure installed base, which is not quite the same thing) But I believe the poster was saying that Apple is now a titan, which is true when you look at mobile devices (which now dwarf PC sales in terms of raw numbers). Microsoft has been failing in mobile for years, which makes the old Apple-Microsoft rivalries seem quaint.

  Yes, sorry I meant Apple in general rather than Mac. They have become a juggernaut, financially and culturally. The Mac itself, though, has become more aspirational in society in general. It doesn't have the market penetration because Apple prices itself out of the the lower end of the market, not because its OS, hardware (hello one button mouse) or software range is sneered at, which used to be the case.
